Jay Robert Grove's Online Review Report Card

Jay is a wonderful surgeon- Minimally invasive, kind, great follow up. Exceptional in all ways. I highly recommend him.

Visited Dr. Jay Grove today and had a sebaceous cyst removed. I was very nervous but under his professional care he relieved my concerns. Extremely professional, very friendly, courteous and very happy with the procedure. His nurse "Lucy" was also professional, courteous, and friendly. Thank you Dr. Grove for taking care of me!

I went to Doctor Grove 3 years ago and I can not stop talking about him to my friends & family. So much so, I have referred a few of them to Doctor Grove. Recently, I found out that Doctor Grove was recognized as one of the Top Docs at Pomerado Hospital. Which I think was well deserved. From lipomas to hernias and hemorrhoids to breast cancers he has done it all. His bedside manner is calm to those with anxiety like myself. Even post operative care with him was great! I’m told people wait MONTHS to get an appointment with Doctor Grove-which I now understand why. He’s the best!!! THANK YOU DR. GROVE!

This guy is the worst. I came to him postpartum with prolapsed hemorrhoids and he made a show out of my procedure. He crammed me into a tiny room and had me lay on this awkward bed/chair that he raised about 5feet into the air and preformed a rubberband procedure for like 5 students. The room was packed and I was so uncomfortable. I have a history of sexual trauma and I requested some sort of sedation and he told me no and that sexual trauma doesn’t matter in this procedure. I had pain after the procedure and he labeled me as medication seeking. I was so embarrassed and never wanted to advocate for myself again. I ended up with an infection due to untreated pelvic organ prolapse and just had emergency surgery on Monday with UCSD.

Doctor Grove expertly repaired my inguinal hernia using a robotic, laparoscopic surgical technique. I had essentially no pain or discomfort from the surgery and healed rapidly with no complications. Doctor Grove's expertise and extensive experience was particularly important to me because of my age (82) and other issues that I'm dealing with (and which Doctor Grove very effectively addressed). He is an expert in his field and I feel blessed to have had him as my surgeon. THANK YOU, DOCTOR GROVE!!!

Dr. Jay Grove is an incredibly kind, compassionate, caring, and skilled doctor. I had gallstones, and with them horribly painful gallbladder attacks. I researched doctors, and I am so very glad I found Dr. Grove! At my consultation he listened to my every concern and question, and believe me, I had MANY! Never once did I feel rushed, or that he was just "going through the motions". He told me that I needed to have surgery to remove my gallbladder, and that he would perform it laparoscopically. He explained the procedure and made sure that I understood it. I'd never had surgery before, so I was terrified! Dr. Grove actually cared, and did his best to assuage my fears. The actual surgery and recovery was a BREEZE! I went home the same day! I had NO pain- not even a little- from the 4 small incisions (and when I say small, I mean SMALL; I can't even see them!), and no discomfort other than being tired from the anesthesia (it's performed under general anesthesia). I was back to 100% about 8 days after my surgery. Words cannot express the immense gratitude I feel toward Dr. Grove- not only is he a wonderful doctor, he's a wonderful person. Not at all like so many other doctors today who treat you like a number or an imposition. Dr. Grove actually genuinely cares, and that makes all the difference in the world.

Dr. Grove is an exception to the rule when it comes to the finest. He too saved my life. His bedside manner is second to none. He is caring not only about your surgery but, about you personally. I will have additional surgery in July and know that in Dr Gove's hand I have nothing to worry about. What a great surgeon and man. Kudo's to his nurse Melanie!

Very short with me, below average bed side manner. Far from warm and fuzzy, even “friendly” may be a stretch. Wish I would’ve chosen a different doctor. Not sure why there’s good reviews. Office doesn’t return phone calls. Doctor doesn’t follow up as promised.

After living for almost a year with an undiagnosed condition, Dr. Grove pinpointed the problem (gall bladder), and within a week he had removed it robotically. No more pain! Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and experienced as a surgeon, he is also a kind and caring person who I felt I could trust completely.. HE'S MY HERO!

Dr. Grove successfully removed a 12 section of my bowel. In addition to being an excellent surgeon is a fine human being. I saw him right after my surgery and he visited me 2 times a day during my short hospital stay. I recommend him highly and without reservation.
